Dairy sustainability leaders representing processors, retailers, cooperatives and farms will gather with experts from environmental organizations, government agencies, universities and others to support progress and identify collaboration opportunities during the Dairy Sustainability Forum, which will take place May 8-9 in Rosemont, Ill.

The event, hosted by the Dairy Sustainability Alliance, brings together alliance members representing more than 100 organizations across the supply chain that are committed to advancing dairy sustainability. The forum also is an opportunity to provide feedback on emerging initiatives of the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy, which was established under the leadership of dairy farmers and is led by company CEOs and industry leaders representing 60% of the U.S. milk supply. The Innovation Center said it provides a pre-competitive setting for the industry to work together on shared social responsibility priorities and opportunities.
